No matter what.

As I watched the election results last night, I couldn’t help but feel discouraged. I know that many won’t understand my feelings, but there was no ignoring the pit in my stomach.

My mom reminded me of a simple solution. To count my blessings. To remember that no matter what, we are together, and our little family is growing and thriving. That even though I may feel discouraged, now is not the time to shrink back on my beliefs. That who I choose to spend eternity with – by accepting Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior – is much more important than any candidate or issue on the ballot.

God has placed me right here, right now for a reason. The harvest is ripe, and the harvest is now. And so I will choose to focus on what I know the Lord has called me to do. Serve Him. Know Him. Love Him.

And so today, I am so thankful for this little family of mine. Together, we can weather whatever this life brings. I know in my heart that we will be alright. {Though I might circle the wagons even closer.}

We will be happy, life will go on, and we will seek joy.

After all, we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken. For these are the things that matter.

I needed this reminder Libby!! Feeling sooo discouraged and worried about my family’s future. I also just read someone else’s take, “maybe this is God’s way of saying ‘no pain, no gain’. I just have a hard time waiting for the “gain” part. Praying hard in Ohio.

Hello!

My name is Libby and this is my space to share all of the things I love. Our beautiful family, motherhood, raising three boys and a baby girl, my faith and whatever else comes to mind. I guess you could say that this is our family story. A story of life and love. A life blessed with some tears, mostly laughter and an abundance of grace.
